Hey TM

once again you have taken the cake, and eaten it all.


>First remember that NO ONE is being forgiven without God's
>grace and their repentance.

Ok, let's just suppose that we agree to that statement....who then checks to see and confirm that one has been forgiven? Is it possible that God out of His own goodness chooses joe bloggs out of the blues and forgives him?

> We are all spiritually dead.

No, not all of us are. I have been in the company of very spiritually uplifted people who do amazing things but are extremely humble that you would never guess how gifted they were if you saw them on the street.

>None of us deserves or even merits God's grace ...its just a gift.

i could agree with you there to an extent......but then the question is, if you yourself think that you do not deserve or merit anything from God especially His grace, then why would God want to give you that very thing you feel you don't deserve?? A bit pointless aint it??

>Second, if you are crossing a river using a bridge .......its
>only by staying on it that you reach the end. Any other method
>is falling short. It doesnt matter whether you are Amin dada
>etc, without the bridge you are going no where.

Ha, you start out well, but then warp up at the end. Why don't we get back to the river bank and start all over again??? How about, there's a bridge, a boat, a waterski, a frogsuit or pure "au naturelle" skin...take your choice, but you gotta get to the other side.

You see what you have done here is given people the bridge and then told them they have no other choice. But when they look over they see others swimming across, others on boats, some on waterskis. When they question you TM you say they have fallen short if they choose any other method. Point is.....without the bridge you are going nowhere, but by all means feel free to take the boat or swim or whatever.....the journey of life simply has to be taken, there is no turning back once one is born.
